I wish my insurance would pay, but at least there were no hoops for me to jump through being private pay. I decided in December to have surgery and it was booked the same day I asked, and now surgery is today. It's scary how easy it was but I am very confident in my surgeons skills, and I know I need this to be healthy. In hindsight I almost wish I had those hoops to jump through because I'm kind of regretting not being more prepared for it. I'm a "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of person apparently.

I had my sleeve surgery on January 3rd. I am home now and feeling pretty good. I started my shakes and Vitamins, slowly. Just a bit sore, but no worse than when I had gallbladder surgery. I am not hungry, which is great. I am drinking slowly. And walking around the house a few minutes every hour. I'm on my way😇

Good luck everyone.

I had my surgery 2 days ago. All went well. Dr said it was difficult due to excessive scar tissue from prior surgery, but really i am feeling great other than nausea. Getting discharged shortly. I swear my shirt is already looser on me. Nice!

Congratulations. I had my surgery on the 3rd. I am already trying no pain meds today. And no nausea meds. Just drinking slowly, taking Vitamins. I cameout of hospital weighing 13 lbs heavier because of the gasses and fluids. I am down 11 lbs now and feeling better. Remember, it gets better everyday.

Having got off to a bad start, the last few days of my preop diet have been much easier. Hope everyone else is finding that it gets easier with time too xx

I wont have access to a scale again until i fly home on the 10th, probably a good thing since im sure i have swelling and fluids from the IV still. I feel like i should be in pain, but hardly none. This is wonderful. I'm so relieved since my healh insurance will not pay for anything obesity related or complications from surgery. It sounds like youre doing equally well, and that is awesome to read.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
